Sorry, seems to be v. 5.0 (don't know how I got that idea), and I don't find it smooth at all. Intercrash Exploder, is the name it goes by around this house. As bad and non-smooth as I also found the NS 4.7x versions to be. Which is why I stayed with 4.08, nicest thing they ever came up with, and I've been running it all the way back from my IIfx and 7.5.3. Now running on my G3/300 (running 9.1), and I'm flying around the web. Except when I ocasionally run in to a page with some java script errors that causes it to quit on me. If I want to see the page I start up NS 6.2.1, which never crashes on me, but truly is a somewhat slower than 4.08. And the only thing I find it to do slower than IE is launching. The only thing that really annoys me about it, is that there seem to be some needed component that fails to be installed, if I choose to install the browser only. Funny thing how browsers turn out differently for different people and on different systems, I also tried out the highly praised iCab, in several version, on both Powermacs and 68ks, and found it so damned slow that it's unuseable.
